Playing catch up.

While our home computer has been on the outs for essentially the entire month of January, making blogging and all things internet related virtually impossible...life has been both chaotic and calm...and full of many beautiful moments.

We ended the year with Hans and Becky's most fabulously elegant wedding at the Fairmont in Seattle. Becky was a vision!! Unfortunately with both Nick and I in the wedding and both kids at most of the days events, I didn't capture nearly as many pictures as I would have liked to. It was a magical, festive and love filled event.

Our wild New Years Eve...a delicious meal, good friends, bedtime stories, and in bed by 11 p.m. Absolutely perfect.

January brought with it our second wedding of the season in Tabernash, Colorado to celebrate my girl Crystal and her Adam. To say that this wedding was beautiful would be a gross understatement. It was as if we stepped into a celebrity wedding weekend, with every last little detail pefectly planned and executed. It was such a nice get away for Nick and I after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays...and having just Madeleine to care for felt like a piece of cake!

While we were away, Charlotte and Grammie jumped in full force with the potty training and (knock on wood!) it has continued on fabulously. Thank goodness for the Dora and Minnie Mouse big girl undies, the stickers and a little bribing with M&M's.

This little lady turned 2 months old...she continues to amaze us every day and we fall more and more in love with each passing minute. I realize now that I say this at every stage of the journey, but I really love this stage of infancy. They are a little bigger, more sturdy and becoming more alert each day. I breathe her in and am overwhelmed that she is ours.

We spent a fabulous weekend across the mountains for some snowy coziness at Suncadia (thanks Elhardts for the invite!). Charlotte is quite smitten with her buddy Miss Addy Mae! And I was quite smitten with the cold weather and sunshine on my face. Hooray for some Vitamin D!
